Patriarch of Antioch and All the East for the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Gregory III Laham, stressed that terrorism the region is facing does not differentiate between Moslems or Christians, as it aims at dismembering it and undermining its national unity.

In an interview with the Egyptian al-Ahram Newspaper on the sidelines of his visit to Egypt for celebrating Christmas, Patriarch Laham called upon the Western countries that support terrorism in Syria, Egypt, Iraq and others to keep their hand off the Arab countries and bring them peace rather than weapons.

He called on the Western and European states to support Geneva 2 Conference despite of supporting terrorists in Syria through supplying them with weapons, expressing wishes that peace would prevail in Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine by next year.

The Patriarch clarified that many politicians and journalists say that the steadfastness of the Syrian leadership reflects that 70 percent of the Syrian people consider it as the ‘savior’ of the country.

Laham considered what is going on in the Arab countries under the title of ‘the Arab Spring” as negative, bringing problems and challenges rather than democracy, liberty, justice or promotion of children and women rights.

He pointed out to the change of the Egyptian stance regarding the crisis in Syria, clarifying that the Syrian-Egyptian relations will be boosted and if the two countries’ efforts are concerted, the Arab world will become better.

The patriarch clarified that 30th June Revolution has corrected Egypt’s position, calling upon the West to respect the Egyptian people’s will.

Libya ~ Jamahiriya News: Libyan Free Press

I have unique experience in Libya. To the best of my knowledge, during the 1980s I was the only American professor to spend time in Libya because of the serial armed hostilities and the imposition of draconian travel prohibitions and economic sanctions inflicted by the Reagan administration. I spent a sum total of four weeks in Libya on three different trips there during that decade.

In 1987 I returned to Libya for another two weeks after the Reagan administration had bombed Tripoli and Benghazi in 1986 and attempted to murder the entire Qaddafi family sleeping in their home at night. I visited all the bombing sites in the Metropolitan Tripoli area and had a tour of the bombed out Qaddafi home. I then had a meeting with Colonel Qaddafi in his tent where we discussed what happened to him and his family on the night of the bombing. Qaddafi was a Bedouin from the desert, so he liked to meet guests and conduct business in a pitched tent.
